I read in one report that, for his second yesterday, Rogers "pounced on a loose ball" (or something along those lines).

In reality it was a great pass from Lindy. Bordering on Pau-esque

We needed a squad filling centre back at a time when we had no money to spend. To pick up a 31 year old with 73 caps and who is the captain of Sweden, and with club experience at the top level was excellent business in the circumstances.
Yep, give Monchi a bit of credit for that one for sure!

I also noticed that, it was on the BBC, in an article about Rogers and the 'other' England no 10s.

Looks like a pensionable version of Pau at the back. Purring like an old Jaguar at the moment but could turn into a Citroen with a wetbelt if we are up against it anytime soon.
He uses both feet i noticed so is no 'Jake the Peg'
Fair play to him

I'm impressed so far. Exactly what you want from a second choice (and he for RCB, and with the way he's playing could even be ahead of Mings too, given Torres is first choice on that side.

V impressed with him and he certainly seems  to have the right attitude.
